Sally Rooney, Intermezzo, ética del cuidado, vulnerabilidad, intimidadResumen
Haciendo uso de teorías sobre vulnerabilidad y ética del cuidado, este ensayo aborda el papel clave que Sally Rooney da a la intimidad en Intermezzo (2024), ambientada en la Irlanda contemporánea. Escrita en un lenguaje donde aflora lo interior, lo emocional y las sensaciones del propio cuerpo, la novela construye una noción “radical” de la intimidad, que da lugar a que los personajes reconsideren sus fobias e inseguridades en el ámbito de sus relaciones afectivas. Se explicará cómo, en Intermezzo, la intimidad no se limita a la conexión emocional, sino que lleva a los protagonistas a alejarse de ciertos valores, normas y prejuicios de la sociedad neoliberal y patriarcal de hoy en día.
